AFE and Readiness Workflows

AFE and RTD workflows together in one
industry leading capital tracking system.

A better way to manage AFEs and capital

AFE Navigator® (AFE Nav) is an all-in-one Approval For Expenditure software solutionthat integrates with your other key systems. It even works from your smart phone!

Speed your AFE workflow from creation through approval

Currently, more than 100 companies and thousands of users employ AFE Nav for seamlessly integrated and hassle-free AFE workflow and capital tracking.

In addition to improving spending controls and avoiding cost overruns, companies who use AFE Nav report significantly faster AFE approval times for authorizations for expenditure – as much as 75 percent faster!

AFE Nav is designed to streamline the AFE and RTD approval process and facilitate easy, accurate and continuous cost tracking. With the click of a button, AFEs and RTDs are released for electronic review and approval.

Systematically assemble and manage all the information, approvals and documentation necessary to submit a drilling license application. After licensing, roll RTD information into the AFE workflow to carry you from pre-drill stages, to drilling and completions, and operations.

With built-in process documentation, user security and a digital audit trail of approvals, AFE Nav establishes and maintains stringent internal controls over capital spending. Once a project is started, AFE Nav will track field costs and pull actual dollars invoiced from accounting. At any point throughout the project, users are able to compare accounting actuals to original AFE (authorization for expenditure) estimates. Use AFE Nav to create a central repository of information accessible to all departments. This centralized store of AFE data can provide a secure, indelible audit trail that facilitates SOX and other compliance requirements.

Enterprise Integration – Seamless integration with other 3esi-Enersight solutions allows you to harness the power of integrated planning and reserves, and eliminates the need for redundant data entry and reduces the possibility for introducing errors. AFE Nav and all other 3esi-Enersight products may be integrated with a multitude of adjacent systems or data sources, including:

Accounting software – AFE master data is sent to your accounting system of choice to decrease redundant data entry and avoid errors.

The move to AFE Navigator led to a redesigned and much improved AFE process at SM Energy.

After examining our AFE situation and the pain it was causing, I knew it was time for an upgrade. With my prior experience with AFE Navigator, I knew it was the best option available, and once implemented, the improvement was dramatic. Our process is now much more transparent, we’re able to plan better, and things are getting approved faster than before.

The response to AFE Navigator at SemCAMS has been very positive. Since implementing it last year, we’ve seen fewer errors caused by manual use and are very happy with its ease of use. The peace of mind I get from being able to trace where an AFE is at is immeasurable.
